“Very Nice Stay”

Was over all satisfied however, the beds were not made for our last nite's stay.

Area recommendations
Dowtown is fine, It's a lot more elaborate than Downtown Tampa, FL Someone who's never been to Calgary would really appreciate it.

“stay in Calgary”

I wouldn't go to Calgary again. The zoo is great, but that's about it. And the city virtually closes on Good Friday.

“It does the job, nothing special, it is a Ramada....”

The hotel was OK, felt a bit dated, the window in the room did not close properly and some lights did not work. I got the feeling that it was all a bit 'take it or leave it'. It was satisfactory, but nothing notable for or against. for a one night stay it was fine. at elast there was free internet, always a plus.

Area recommendations
This area is fine for the city center.

“dumpy digs”

I just felt depressed when checking into the hotel. The lobby seemed sad and depressing. The room was completely normal and clean.

“Great Location but beware of the downtown location”

The Ramada has excellent customer service and the rooms were spacious but the problem with the single bed room was that there was too much space, meaning not enough furniture. If you want "roomy," then the single-bed suite is the way to go. But the corner of 7th Avenue SW & 8 Street SW, from what I heard and definitely did not want to experience personally, was the place to wander too far since it is where all of the drug dealers and the vagrants hang around. So, beware of that place of the hotel's "backyard." All in all I would definitely come back again but only if Calgary's soaring gang crime rate would come down.
